Well, now we know why there hasn't been much beach seining in late August in past years. There are a ton of beach spawning sockeye that get caught up in the net! This is a particularly large male that we found at one of the bigger spawning sites.
Here is one of the Dolly Varden that I have been working with. Males get a hook in their jaw and associated notch when they are getting ready to impress the ladies.
Late night fish workup in the lab/shop.
There are some scary isopods in Chignik Lake. Seriously. These things will strip a fish down to bones in a matter of hours.

LOVE the isopod picture. But I can't help but wonder how long it took you to set up that picture just right. Awesome!
great photos!
That is one huge salmon. Beautiful color. Will's second grade class is going to be raising salmon fry this year. They will be able to visit the hatchery in Nimbus and release them in the spring. He is pretty excited about it.
